TRACKLESS ALL-POSITION WELDING CRAWLERS

API 650 Tank Yards.
ASME Vessel Shops.
One Crawler Beats a Crew.

Magnetic trackless crawlers that walk on steel, weld flat / horizontal / vertical-up / overhead seams without guide rails — stabilized by ±0.5 mm laser-arc tracking for ≥98% first-pass RT/UT acceptance.

API 650 / ASME Sec IX| ±0.5 mm Tracking| ≥98% RT First-Pass| 50 °C Continuous
MODEL PORTFOLIO

Two Platforms for Tank & Pipe Yards

WTA-741 · HEAVY STRUCTURAL SEAMS

Tank Shell / Vessel Circumferential & Vertical

Designed for 5–50 mm butt and fillet seams on API 650 tanks, spherical tanks and thick-wall pressure vessels. Magnetic chassis grips vertical and horizontal surfaces without external ring frames.

Seam thickness5–50 mm
ProcessFCAW / SMAW / SAW
Travel speed0.1–1.0 m/min
Chassis weight≤ 28 kg
TargetOnshore tank / vessel yards
WTA-122 · FIELD PIPING & TIE-INS

6G Pipe Spools & Field Tie-Ins

Compact magnetic crawler for 4–24 inch field piping and small-bore headers. Handles 6G fixed-position joints directly on-site — cuts skilled-welder bottleneck on gas plant and refinery tie-in packages.

Pipe OD rangeØ114–610 mm
ProcessTIG / MIG / FCAW
Position1G / 2G / 5G / 6G
Chassis weight≤ 12 kg
TargetField piping / skid tie-ins

CODE & PROCESS COMPLIANCE

Built to the Codes Your QA Department Already Runs

API 650 · Welded Tanks

Vertical and horizontal shell seams, ring grooves and corner joints — parameter library pre-tuned for 6–40 mm shell plate.

ASME Sec IX · Vessel Fabrication

WPS/PQR-driven multi-pass oscillation, wire feed and travel parameters locked per joint procedure — no ad-hoc welder tuning.

Field Ruggedness

IP-rated enclosures sealed against blowing sand, thermal buildup and rain; remote pendant rated for Gulf-site cable runs.
